Hugh Jackman Is ‘Having Fun’ Mentoring Sutton Foster Ahead of Broadway Gig: ‘She Shares His Passion’


Hugh Jackman is taking on a 'mentoring' role as girlfriend Sutton Foster prepares for her Broadway gig playing Loretta Lynn, sources exclusively tell Closer.

Sutton Foster has landed a coveted gig playing country legend Loretta Lynn in Broadway’s Coal Miner’s Daughter musical — and boyfriend Hugh Jackman is taking a keen mentoring role as they plan out a golden future together on the Great White Way, insiders exclusively tell Closer. “Hugh has had his Broadway career going strong for a long time, and actually [estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness] helped him a lot behind the scenes, but to have someone that shares his passion the way Sutton does, as a performer, is pretty exhilarating,” sources reveal. Of course, “Sutton has her own very successful Broadway career under belt, so it’s not as though she needs Hugh’s guidance, but they are having fun helping each other run lines and having that sounding board for character development,” the tipsters clarify.
